What Happened to the Rock band Night at the ImprovBoston?

[Patchex]

I Didn't know about Rockband a Year ago which is sad cause I don't live to far from them lol and I went looking for an event someone had told me about at ImprovBoston, yet can not find any info on the Improv site... So is there still a Rockband Night here? Also if Not How can we get it started again?

It's on this week, Thursday at 10pm! (There's a slide on the site that comes up but i can see how it might be easy to miss.)

FYI.

I am going this week if anyone wants to meet up.
Looking forward to attending an RB night instead of hsoting them and hopefully I will meet some HMX folks.

Oh Crud, I missed this info again, I looked again on the Improve site and couldn't find it. Also I have to figure out how to get these to email me when there are reply's, I thought it was Automatic, I guess its a optional feature. So I would love to go to this event, if it is still going on, does anyone have a link or is there a thread on this already?

We're definitely still doing these! There's not a mailing list that I know of, but you can follow almost any of the HMX team on Twitter to get the heads up on when we're getting ready. It's the 3rd Thursday of every month, almost without fail. I'll try to post an update here in advance this month. Hope to see you there!

Thanks Mr. Henry, may I please ask for a link to the Twitter names, cause I am following some stuff for Rockband on Twitter, yet I'm not sure if I am following the official ones. Ya I will be there this month, is there a Door Charge? Also do you have a link to the Info on the ImprovBoston site? I keep looking on the ImproveBoston Site, Yet I can not find anything there on RockBand, it is the ImprovBoston in Cambridge? Or is there another ImprovBoston? Again Thanks for the Info...

Here's the link to the main Thursday night schedule for the IB site, along with the blurb for RB night:

That should have everything you need for scheduling, door charge, directions, etc.

And here's the main RB account on Twitter:

All of us from the Community Team are on Twitter and will invariably be hyping RB night at IB on the 16th and you can find most of us by searching for our forum handles. Hope that helps!

Well I had a blast at the last Rock Band night, also I will be at tomorrows. Thank you again for the Info and I hope to have another Jammin night. I wonder though if you all are going to get a better Drum set for the Event at any point... Plus the Drum set didn't seem to be calibrated properly. maybe I was just off yet I could have sworn I was hitting notes that were not registering. Also is it customary that you always use the Xbox version at the Rock Band night? I am a bit perplexed by that... I know you Had both at PAX last year yet the Stage Set up was Xbox and you put Sony up in a corner where not many people visited, is there a reason for that?

I just got back from the Meet up at the Improv and I would like to say thanks to the crew for letting me play on stage. It was another unforgeable experience. Thank you also for finding two other people to play with me on stage seeing that I went alone this time... Sadly I had planed to play base and Sing, and had to play the drum set you guys have on stage. I don't know if you guys remember or not, yet I left my stock drum set at your door step a few months ago because it was broken. Snapped right off the base cause it was made of plastic and not very durable. Sadly I am not a fan of the Plastic set, it shakes and bounces way to much for a drum set. I tried it anyway, even though I was planing on playing base. Also one of the Girls who was at the last show made me feel really uncomfortable when she shouted out that I should use buttons while trying to put my avatar on pro. I do not know if this is a Xbox feature, yet maybe you should think about a Patch so we can use the Drum pads to make a selection... Also It is very distracting for a set to bounce while trying to sing and keep an eye on both the Drum parts and the Singing parts. I do know the words to that song yet the music was so soft on stage I lost my place and was distracted and fell short of the ending while singing and playing the drums... I am not sure if I will join you for the next one, yet I would like to... If you do not mind I would like to bring my Ion Set and will gladly leave it on stage for the duration of the show. I will even purchase an Xbox drum brain, even though I refuse to buy an Xbox because the company is a corrupt one. Any way, I also noticed some one brought a keyboard, yet I didn't stick around to see it being played... Sadly I have not bought that peripheral because I have heard very bad things about its functionality. Yet if I had the chance to play the keyboard I might change my mind about it.

All that a side, thank you RockBand Staff for continuing to hold the RockBand night. (Even though the turn out seems to be lacking. I am not sure why that is, yet it is a good idea to hold them in my opinion) I hope to see you at PAX if I do not return to the Improv.
